But just one question ...do I have to search this damn HIN inside or outside the boat ???
Surely the hull has been repainted....
And probably I know why there are no documents.....the vendor that sold me the boat probably knows that wasn't a WC .....but I don't want to bore you with this neverending story....maybe those two sticker were putted to justify the fake......
but you know... the boat really looks like an old fashioned beauty...and I bought it !
I wanna thank again all the people in this forum...and...sorry for my english ….I hope It’s not so terrible ;)

Here's where you should find the HIN...if you're standing behind the boat, it should be BELOW the rub rail ...the numbers are generally molded into the hull in that location

In the photo below, the numbers are a different color than the surrounding area...



since your hull has been painted, it could be easily overlooked as the numbers are not deeply molded into the surface and could be filled in



For instance on the boat above, you would look closely at the transom just below the rub rail to the right of the motor (starboard side)

Another thing you might try...get the numbers off the outdrive, see if the manufacturer can tell you where that particular unit went...they MIGHT be able to steer you to the boat maker...

and again, I would urge you to post this boat on THT.com for identification...I posted the site address above...
